Re Plumber wanted, I can highly recommend Glen Eldershaw 07870 722525 who did an excellent job for me with similar problem.

I am looking for a plumber who can fix my bath mixer tap which is constantly dripping. Suggestions will be appreciated.

What did the Home Office say in response to the Audlem parliamentary questions

The Home Office’s response was that it had not approved or provisionally approved any property in Audlem for asylum accommodation, and no contracted provider had entered into an agreement or arrangement to use a site there.
What the questions asked
Aphra Brandreth MP asked two related questions:
• Whether a Home Office-contracted provider had entered negotiations, agreements or other contractual arrangements with an Audlem property owner.
• Whether the Home Office had approved, provisionally approved or been asked to approve any property or site in Audlem for asylum accommodation.questions-statements.parliament +1
Home Office position
The answer stated, in substance, that:
• No property or site in Audlem had been identified as suitable for asylum accommodation.
• No Home Office approval had been given for an Audlem site.
• No contracted accommodation provider had entered into the relevant arrangements with an Audlem property owner.
• If a site were identified, Home Office officials would notify the local authority’s chief executive and the constituency MP.
This means the parliamentary answer does not confirm an asylum-accommodation plan for the former grammar school. It indicates that, as of the date covered by the questions, there was no approved or formally identified Audlem site.
The answer should nevertheless be read as a statement about the Home Office’s position at that time—not as a permanent guarantee that a property could never be considered later.

Staying on Audlem without a car to visit my Mum in Corbrook, I need to get a taxi to Crewe station on Sunday afternoon.

Any recommendations for a reliable service please?

One of the discussions among residents in Audlem is speeding traffic entering and leaving the Village, and vehicles invading pedestrian footpaths. Audlem SpeedWatch runs sessions each week. We all know that many motorists do not adhere to the 30 mph speed limit within the village. So once again, I am appealing to the residents of Audlem: we need more volunteers to encourage motorists to follow the 30 mph speed limit and keep residents safe while walking in our village.
We are very fortunate to have a Parish Council that supports us, and we work with Nick Jarvis, PCSO, who is our contact with Cheshire Police.
Our small group of volunteers need more support. We are a friendly, social group. So if you have a spare hour to volunteer, we'd appreciate your help keeping Audlem safe.
You can reach me at gmacbrown@hotmail.com or on my mobile at 07377623993.

Hi Rosalind, I live in Buerton and own United Carpets in Crewe, I'm sure we'll have something you like! Cheers, Eddie

As usual the permissive footpath between the A529 Market Drayton and the canal bridge at Swanbach will close during maize harvest, which is due to take place this coming week, 14 – 18th September.
This is to ensure safety of both walkers and operatives.
Thank you for your understanding.

Looking for recommendations for someone who can repair our guttering please

Rosalind, try Hugh Protheroe on 07931526167. Have yet to meet anyone better.

I've always used Bennets on Edleston Road. They also trimmed the bottom of the doors when necessary

Thank you for carpet shop recommendations. Does anyone know a local joiner who would shave a door to accommodate the new carpet?

Just want to say how good the repaired memorial in the centre of the village now looks. As I understand it the memorial needed some remedial work for safety reasons. This has now been done but it was a good opportunity to tidy it up a little. A great result and a thumbs up to the Parish Council for facilitating the work.

Hello everyone

I am running a Crafters Corner 2 hour Paint & Sip workshop on Tuesday 22nd September 7pm -9pm.

No experience needed, this workshop is very much non prescribed and focuses more on the individuals flair and confidence with having a go at using mixed media.

Create a unique canvas art to take home.

Venue is the Shroppie Fly.

All materials provided with a glass of prosecco for £25 per person.

Please call/text Liz on 07951/584900 to book.

Hi Ros, we've used House of carpets too and we're very pleased. Great choice and really good team of fitters.

I have used Bennett's Carpets of Edleston Road, Crewe for many years and definitely recommend them. See website.

I used House of Carpets from Market Drayton recently and they were excellent, recommended by my neighbour, and I'm happy to recommend them also

Could locals please recommend a carpet shop / fitter as I’d like to use a smaller local company if possible. Thank you

Hi, I need a roofer to refit wire mesh bird prevention cage on one of my chimney pots.
Probably 1/2 hrs work but need it doing next week.

I would like to thank the driver of a small bright blue car similar to or possibly the same as a Fiat 500 for forcing me off the road in Windmill Lane between Buerton and Longhill Lane this morning (Tuesday) by failing to slow down and providing little or no room to for me to .get past on my bicycle as I travelled to Woore. As such I would also like to thank him for reminding me that I need to practice and improve my escape and evasion skills. I would like to thank this driver for the encouragement he provided in getting me closer to nature than I have been for some time as I ended up in the hedge. I had forgotten how wonderful nature is at this time of the year. And, I would like to thank him for not bothering to stop to see if I was all right and to make sure that no damage was done.

My wife would also like to thank this same driver who she met on Windmill Lane as he returned towards Buerton for failing to slow down one iota, driving as though he owned the road, and to thank him for his lack of acknowledgement to her for pulling into the verge to let him on his merry way. Hopefully, one day we will be able to thank him in person for his kindness and consideration!

Try Surefire Pest Control 07957 856978. We've used them twice.

Just wondered if anyone has a number for someone to get rid of a wasps nest? Thank you!

What is the contact number for Audlem V Fete. There are 11 Audlem societies listed on this website but not the AVF
We have toys and bric a bat if you are interested.

Regarding motorcycle repairs for your Keeway try Gregg Skitt in Nantwich, I highly recommend him I take my bikes for service, repairs and customs and he won’t rip you off! His number is 07977 151433! He is well known and also recommended within the bike community! Good luck !!

Many thanks to Audlem Online for what you do. In fact, had it not been for the Buy/Sell department, I wouldn't have as much stuff as I do...and believe me......I have some stuff! I'm very grateful to Audlem Online and to the people of Audlem and surrounding areas for furnishing me with stuff that, until I saw it advertised on here, I honestly didn't know I needed....but, as it turned out....I did!!. It's fantastic (regarding the stuff I have) but possibly not quite so 'fantastic' to whoever has to sort out the mountain of wonderful things I have amassed after I have shuffled off this....... etc etc.
But......an enormous thanks to the wonderful Bob Cartwright!!!!!! I know Bob has been given thanks on here many times but I'd like to give my personal thanks to Bob.
If the world was full of more 'Bob Cartwright's' we'd be doing better than we are doing, I'm certain of that!

Thanks Audlem Online and long may you continue.

Billy.
